For some reason, these two spoke to me...
The STI parked outside Cook Street Coffee caught my eye not because of the Blue, nor the second-gen sculpted fender flares with a huge rally-inspired spoiler. No, it caught my eye because of what was behind it and got me thinking;
These two cars are more related than you might think.. First, they're both designed to be a car--they will go pretty much anywhere and are designed to get you from point A to B without much fuss (something you might go without in an earlier Ferrari). Second, they both have low-slung, unorthodox engine choices; a turbocharged boxer flat four in the Subaru while the Porsche has a flat six mounted way behind the rear wheels!
These two also seemed like they were actually driven by their owners, instead of just keeping them in the garage for Sundays only. Both had imperfect paint with subtle modifications: The STI had a pretty nasty-sounding exhaust system while the Porsche has tastefully-matched wheels and a free-flowing intake.
Two very different vehicles on the surface, but if you stretch it far af you can find similarities...maybe? wtf
Cheers
